Chapter 3: Do You Think I'm Sick?

There was a shouting sound in the consultation room, An Feng looked left and right, and then looked at the diagnosis number on hand, and found that there was no one in the corridor, and was about to get up, when a woman in her thirties walked hurriedly at the end of the corridor, cutting her hair, with a big face, looking nervous and tired - this is An Feng's mother, today she asked for leave to accompany An Feng to see a doctor, and just now went to buy popsicles for An Feng.

At the same time, a man with a twisted expression hurriedly walked out of the consultation room, he covered his face with one hand, and walked out of the examination room without pause, and walked quickly along the corridor into the distance. At this time, there was another shout in the clinic, and the mother nervously held An Feng's hand, and comforted her helplessly: "Child, don't be afraid!" ”

What is An Feng afraid of? In fact, coming here to "see a doctor" was the result of An Feng's repeated induction, which he spent two years pretending to be sick and then inducing his mother to seek medical advice, and finally approached the psychiatrist - now it was almost his last chance.

An Feng took his mother's hand with a well-behaved face, followed his mother's steps and walked towards the door, and his mother comforted him repeatedly: "Don't be afraid, child." Don't be afraid. ”

In fact, when people are mentally abnormal, this is very normal, and it is also a common "habit". Even if a person looks completely normal on the surface, there is no guarantee that he will not be pathological at any time of the day. If you are depressed or irritable, you should talk to a psychiatrist or a priest. "Seeking comfort" is the bottom line requirement of human physiological health, and this cognition An Feng has induced his mother for two years. My mother still feels nervous now, because at that time, people felt that it was embarrassing to be "mentally ill" and that it was shameful to be told about it.

There was a very well-dressed man in his 20s sitting in the consultation room, looking arrogant and impatient, ready to get up, as if he had plans to leave, but when he saw An Feng's mother leading the child in, he sat down again, coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and asked in a deep voice: "This child, what's the matter?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay," the mother muttered involuntarily.

The young doctor smiled, "It's okay not to come to me...... Don't be nervous, speak slowly. ”

"Are you Dr. Zhou?" Mother asked cautiously. An Feng on the side was playing with his fingers intently, his fingers were playing quickly, as if he was playing the piano virtually, Dr. Zhou's eyes fell on An Feng's fast fingers, and he was stunned for a moment, this is ......, the speed of this finger trembling is too fast, am I dazzled?

"I am!" Dr. Chow responded calmly. It can be seen that he is very satisfied with his life and his life expectations, so he responds simply and loudly.

"Secretary Lin introduced me to Secretary Lin from the Water Conservancy Department", the mother put on a smiling face, trying to get closer: "I am the secretary Feng Shufang, the secretary of Kefeng." ”

"Understood, Secretary Lin told me", Dr. Zhou bent down thoughtfully, looked at An Feng, and replied: "I am Dr. Zhou Tao, you continue." ”

"My kid is very smart......"

"You can see that he must be very smart."

"But he has been more 'lonely' since he was a child, and he always likes to carry it alone, and often plays with his fingers alone for a few hours. He doesn't like to talk to adults except for his family, but now that he's older, the teacher asks questions in class......"

"Wait", Dr. Zhou stretched out a finger to stop: "There are some words that cannot be said in front of the child, the child is already old and can understand it...... Well, you don't have to say it, I probably know the situation, can you go out for a while? Wait for me in the hallway for me to talk to my child alone? Don't worry, it's okay in a while, it's not a big deal. ”

The mother walked out of the consultation room slowly, and during this time, An Feng kept his head down and played with his fingers, as if he didn't notice his mother's departure.

After his mother left, Dr. Zhou squatted down, kept his eyes level with An Feng as much as possible, and asked patiently, "How do you feel?" ”

The tone is egalitarian and natural, as if asking: Did you brush your teeth this morning?

An Feng stopped his movements, raised his eyelids, looked at the other party, and responded calmly: "You still have three months left." ”

Zhou Tao made a movement to get up in shock, but stopped halfway, he turned his face to look at the desk, and looked over from his perspective, leaving a crack in the drawer, revealing a red passport - but from An Feng's point of view, he couldn't see the passport?!

Zhou Tao squatted down again and smiled kindly: "That's right, autistic children are very smart, because of focus, they can often find things that others don't find, but ...... How did you do that? I'm asking: From the moment you came in, you sat at my desk. From the angle from which you sit, you shouldn't be able to see the contents of my drawer, how do you tell that I have three months left? Why do I have 'three months' left? ”

Secretary Lin said. He said that you were going to go abroad for further study in three months, and asked my mother to take me for treatment as soon as possible...... Do you think I'm sick? ”

Zhou Tao smiled, and he replied in a very natural tone: "In fact, everyone is mentally ill, but some people are good at self-adjustment, some people are good at hiding their emotions, some people are good at acting and pretending to be not sick, and some people are good at venting properly...... Now, you're a patient and I'm a doctor, so it's only natural that you're sick. ”

An Feng responded quickly: "Don't doctors need to comfort people?" Why don't you comfort me at all, will you die if you put it tactfully? ”

"You are not a person who needs comfort", Zhou Tao immediately smiled and added: "You are not a person who needs to be tactful, with your IQ, you know what I am going to say?" ”

"IQ ...... This word is very fresh", An Feng tilted his head and asked curiously.

Zhou Tao smiled arrogantly: "This word has not yet become popular, and I just translated it from a foreign magazine." ”

An Feng nodded and asked, "How are you going to treat me?" ”

Zhou Tao nodded seriously: "Now, this is treating you, I don't know how serious your autism is, but ...... Talking to you, communicating with you, is healing for you. ”

"Oh", An Feng nodded clearly, immediately pretended to be ignorant, and asked rhetorically: "Then how are you going to treat yourself." ”

Zhou Tao was stunned for a moment, and immediately grinned: "You are waiting for me here...... Yes, I said that everyone is mentally ill, and I am certainly no exception, but ......"

"That's not what I'm asking...... An Feng stared at Zhou Tao's eyes, and asked very seriously: "You have three months to go abroad, you can leave after working in this hospital for another three months, don't tell me that you will have to serve your alma mater when you return from study...... What I want to ask is: How do you plan to treat your poverty while studying abroad? ”

"Huh", Zhou Tao stretched out his hand and rubbed An Feng's head: "To be honest, you are the first case of autism I have come into contact with." In foreign magazines, I often say that autistic people are smart in some ways, but they don't expect ...... Well, let's be honest: my tuition has been covered, and the hospital promised me that my salary will be paid as usual, and as long as I return to work in the hospital after I finish my studies, well, maybe I can be reimbursed for some daily allowance......"

"You still haven't told the truth", An Feng looked worried like an adult, sighed and said: "Do you think that your salary and your savings are enough for you to live and study abroad for several years?" Someone covers your tuition, does he also cover your living expenses? ”

Zhou Tao tilted his head and looked at An Feng, silent, thinking, after three minutes, he seemed to be tired of squatting, stood up and returned to the desk, sat on his stool, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, you villain, I'm not afraid of you saying it...... Ha, no one will believe you when you say it, aren't you still a patient? I'll just talk to you about it, anyway, chatting is also a cure.

I didn't contact my study abroad myself, someone took care of it, and the condition was that I was responsible for taking care of his children. His child is the protagonist of studying abroad, that child is about the same age as you, only ten years old, and has never been exposed to foreign languages before, so he needs someone who knows foreign languages to take care of him and guide him...... Do you understand? ”

"Go on......" An Feng twisted in his chair and urged softly in a hypnotic tone.

Perhaps, since planning to study abroad, Zhou Tao has been under a lot of mental pressure, after all, he has to go out to face a strange environment, and people at that time have no understanding of foreign countries, thinking that foreign countries must be in dire straits and difficult to survive. So Zhou Tao was very worried - his eyes were blue and the bags under his eyes were big, indicating that he had often slept hard recently.

Therefore, when he met Xiao An Feng, who was willing to communicate with him about this matter and did not worry about leaking it out afterwards, Zhou Tao had no psychological pressure at all, and continued calmly and in an equal tone - this is also a kind of pressure relief for him: "Well, I am the nanny that the child's parents paid for, and they asked me to live with the child, oh, they actually bought a house in the local area, and we lived there, I heard that the child's mother went back to send the child and lived in the local area for half a year until the child was straightened out."

I don't have to pay rent, they pay for the tuition, and the salary is paid as usual in the hospital - that's their condition. But I politely refused, if they were to pay for the tuition for four years, time would have passed, and I was worried that there would be disputes after four years. So I only asked them to pay the first year's tuition, and let the hospital promise to keep my establishment and position, which was enough. I couldn't stand up for a year there, and I deserved to come back and go back to work.

For the first year, I had to drop the kid off at school every day, pick him up from school, and give him homework when I had time – but I didn't think the kid was going to learn anything, the foreign language was like shit, and he couldn't keep up with the school curriculum for at least two years. However, whenever that child needs me, I will receive a monthly allowance...... Hopefully, this allowance will cover living expenses.

Well, that's it. I plan to spend half a year getting acquainted with the environment, and then work part-time to earn money. I heard that it is very profitable to wash dishes abroad, and when I get the local doctor's qualification certificate, with this qualification certificate, it will be easy to work, so I will work hard for a year at most...... What questions do you have? ”

"Earning money, my problem is earning money - it seems that you are facing the same worries as me, have you ever thought about it: earn some money at home, so that you can be more comfortable when you go abroad?" An Feng said quietly temptingly.

Zhou Tao smiled reservedly and replied disapprerovingly: "You are such a villain, what can you come up with to make money......?" ”

For seducing people's hearts, An Feng has two lifetimes of experience, and he replied unhurriedly: "With Dr. Zhou's age, you are about to get married, right?" Are you looking for someone at home, or abroad? You have to study abroad for several years, how can you fall in love? ”

Zhou Tao stared at An Feng stunned, feeling shocked in his heart...... Years later, he still remembers the meeting. Perhaps for psychological reasons, in his memory, at that time, the child with a big head and a pair of bright eyes, sitting on a stool with his legs dangling in the air, staring at him with burning eyes, talking to him......

Of course, An Feng's head is not big, he has a very well-proportioned figure and ...... eyes The glasses are a little brighter.

Looking back afterwards, Zhou Tao didn't remember what An Feng was wearing at that time, and he didn't even remember An Feng's appearance at that time, he only remembered the "big head" and "big eyes", this child used the tone of an adult, unhurriedly, hesitantly and talked with Zhou Tao about making money, for a while Zhou Tao forgot the age gap between the two parties, and couldn't help but communicate with each other in an equal tone for a long time, and finally ......

At that time, Zhou Tao took a deep breath, leaned over, his eyes were as level as possible with An Feng, and he patiently replied: "Haha, you guessed right, I already have a partner, I was originally going to get married at the end of the year, and the units and houses were divided, but ...... Hehe, she's working in the field, and I was going to go to her city to take a master's degree......

We got the marriage certificate last year, but we haven't had a wedding yet, because I thought I could pass the exam, but I didn't expect my mentor to recommend me to go abroad. Now, things have changed a little bit, and that's why I'm upset - I'm going abroad soon, and I don't know when the wedding will be postponed......"

An Feng interjected: "She is actually willing to wait...... Alas, such a love will not be there in the future. ”

Zhou Tao was stunned by this, obviously he had another idea in his heart, and An Feng's words allowed him to re-examine this love. He turned around in his heart and continued: "Maybe, we live separately, we see each other for a short time, and we are separated for a long time. Therefore, the relationship between the two of us is a bit plain like water, but both of us are older and want to have a home, and there is no better person around, so we came together.

Originally, I thought that if I could stay abroad, I would take her and ...... Ahem, it seems that you are right, I do need to make money, but you are such a villain, why do you worry about money? ...... in your home Sisters, how? ”

An Feng nodded: "I have an older sister who is five years older than me, and a younger brother who is two years younger than me. ”

"Then you are the eldest son", Zhou Tao forgot the passage of time, forgot that this was in the consultation room, and he chatted with An Feng emotionally: "Your mother is a regular employee of the state, shouldn't the salary be low?" ”

An Feng sighed: "My mother is the little secretary of the secretarial department, but ...... People think that a secretary can have a lot of power, but in fact, a powerful secretary refers to a secretary dedicated to the big leader, and this kind of secretary is not in the secretarial section, but in the leader's 'office'. The clerk of the secretary department is basically doing ...... Responsible for serving tea and pouring water to leaders, printing and writing unit documents, distributing them to subordinate units, etc.

Such a secretary can't talk to the leader, and my mother's unit is not doing well -- now, the state-run unit is not doing well. ”

Zhou Tao wanted to know about An Feng's family situation, because he wanted to know more, why was such a villain in a hurry to make money...... This is also the basis for the cooperation between the two sides. After all, An Feng was still young at this time, so he could only use the family situation as an endorsement of the cooperation between the two parties.

"I didn't hear you mention your father", Zhou Tao asked curiously.
